Hi, are the unix and samba password data bases in sync on the two servers? I.e. do the same users (name:uid) exist in /etc/passwd and do the same users exist in Samba's password database (compare output of "pdbedit -L").
If the answer is no, you might run into problems with just syncing the data areas. Note that rsync (unless called with "--numeric-ids") tries to copy ownership of files by the owner's name. Read the section on "--numeric-ids" in the rsync man page for mor information.
